92 points - James Suckling
From one of Chile's most notable family-owned wineries comes an Old Vine Malbec sourced from 100 year old vines.
LLAMA, as its namesake, embodies the distinctive spirit of our vineyards, spanning the foothills of the Andes. The Llama Old Vine Malbec is a modern wine with attractive dark cherry-red color with violet hues. The nose shows great intensity. Fruity aromas of cherries, blackberries and plums stand out against a background of fine toasty hints from ageing in top-quality oak. Warm, rounded and well-structured on the palate, with an explosion of fruit flavors. Malbec is a great match with any type of hard cheese such as Manchego, or barbequed meat dish with cracked black pepper.
